As everyone has mentioned so far, the requirements are laid out for you during first year and are decently easy to achieve. I have never met a student that didn't get the IS tuition if they applied for it. At least for the 4 years I was there, it was a 100% rate each year for those wanting IS tuition.
I think you still have April 15th to deposit. The email is just saying if you do end up depositing now and change your mind later, you can only get a refund before April 15th. Like for example, let’s say you are waitlisted at your IS so you go ahead and submit the deposit to Mizzou. You hear back that you’re accepted to your IS before April 15th, you decline Mizzou and are eligible to get your deposit back.
read this and totally agreed, then looked at my phone and saw the invite. spoke too soon lol! Feb 27/28 here we go!!
I emailed them asking to change my permanent address because I moved after submitting the VMCAS and they said this didn't matter because everything would be sent through email, not mailed so I'm assuming they do not.
Mine is at 9:45! Good luck everyone!
Yes, they do offer application reviews I believe after April 30. They should have mentioned something about that in the email they sent you telling that you were an alternate. Kathy Seay is the person you would talk to for the feedback. They will go over the application, give you your score sheet and explain how you can improve.
Great thank you! There wasn't anything about that in the email I got, but I will reach out to her around then.
Would that be the summer between 1st and 2nd years or the summer before 1st year?
Summer between year 1 and 2, which summers are shortened anyway due to the block schedule.
Good to know, thank you!
I’m an OOS alternate but I asked a very similar question during my interview. I obviously can’t speak to what it’s actually like but I was told that most lectures were online but they had restructured to allow labs to be in slightly smaller groups so they could remain in person.
Classes are generally very close-knit but as in any vet school, very clique-like. I believe everyone found a place to fit in. Generally we were together all day M-F and depending on your personality, some people would go out and party, some would stay in, some would do something in between. Generally, people from the vet school stuck with others from the program, however, there are quite a few that went to Mizzou and have connections in the community. I was never really close to any professors myself, other than a mentor I had during a research project (summer research program was offered and a great way to make $$ over the summer to change from OOS to IS). I cannot really comment on it other than I do know a lot of students got quite close to some professors to call them friends! I hope that helps! I can try to elaborate more.
What were club schedules like back then? I heard that most, if not all, are currently done online so I assume most of the meetings are talks with little to no hands-on experience in wet labs, right?
Generally meetings were in the evenings starting around 5-7pm. Dinners generally provided. I wasn't a member of many clubs and the ones I did join were not ones with many hands on opportunities. Having said that, the large animal clubs tended to have a lot more opportunities for experience. Most of the general meetings were just a talk.
OOS Accepted
About 16-18 units per semester during undergrad
I’m oos and they said they didn’t rank oos.
I'm a current VM1 and they waited until the very end of March to make our facebook page after the in-state acceptances had gone out too!
